Update to this story.

Via Raw Story:

The family of Michael Brown is considering a civil suit against the police officer who shot him in the wake of news that a Department of Justice investigation is preparing to recommend no civil rights charges be brought against the officer.

Anthony Gray, an attorney representing the Brown family, confirmed that the​ family ​is considering a civil suit against Darren Wilson, the police officer whose fatal shooting of Brown in Ferguson, Missouri , led to protests last year.

“That is an option that is available,” Gray said. “They have not made a decision to move forward at this point, [but] that is an option that is always on the table.”
